price of a charger

I wonder if the American auto industry is becoming wiser or more sly? Today I saw a commercial where two young guys are looking at about the hunkiest, bulkiest, hunk of a car I have ever seen, the Dodge Charger. Talk about 50's! And gas guzzling! and just down right ugly! These two guys are drooling over this homely pile of plastic and medal.
"How much is it?" Asked one 50's style (you know, like your father) young man to the other.
"$26,000!" Say the skilled young salesman.
"Is that all?" Exclaimed the ignorant young man who evidently never talked to a car salesman before. You never say. "Is that all! But rather say. "Oh my I can't afford that!" Then you get your mind prepared to sit three hours with the roll playing salesperson who runs back and forth to his manager and while pretending to be "working" for you at trying to save you some money..yeah right!

What floored me is that when the young man in the commercial hears the prices he says. "$26,000? Is that all? I'll take it!" And it's so ugly! It's bigger and clunkier in the front and then tails off smaller towards the back so from a distance it looks like the rear view of a sixty year old skinny chain smoking man with broader shoulders than his narrow, no-butt, sagging, drooping pants. Ugly! And so out dated..

The American auto industry needs to get with it! This is the age of light, efficent, stylist, hybrids. Hybrids are a "oil industry" compromise in my opinion. I know most vehicles built today could be electric. We know it can be done. Remember GM's EV1 built in the late 90's? The last one that GM crushed was in 2003. Yes, a perfectly cute car and drivers in California loved them and tried to buy them but GM only leased them. And then when GM and the republican oil minded men in Washington D. C. saw that the car might be catching on in New York they allowed the anti-pollution laws to be changed in California and then slowly the EV1 cars began disappearing out of drive ways to the sadness of California drivers when they could not get their leases renewed for no apparent reason. Watch the DVD "Who Killed the Electric Car?" It's all about big business and not about the air you breath.

Now on this evening Bush's State of the Union address it is said that he will not talk about the war.. but about providing health care, education and probably jobs for people. It is so obvious that it is just lip service because the Democrats are now demanding social services for the American tax makers.

Hillary timed her commitment perfectly and that is right before the State of the Union Address. In the early nineties she tried to push affordable health care for everyone in the United States. But, it never got anywhere in a republican house and senate. The republicans spent the whole eight years Bill Clinton was in office trying to smire his name. Well, Hillary has been ran through the ringer already so all that attempted mud slinging hopefully is behind her. Hopefully, she is elected and with a democratic house and senate should get some social services health care, good jobs, debt control and education bills pasted.
